Currently the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is engaged in a post- quantum standardization effort, analyzing numerous candidate schemes

Notes on Interrogating Random Quantum Circuits

Author(s)
Luis Brandao, Rene C. Peralta
Consider a quantum circuit that, when fed a constant input, produces a fixed-length random bit- string in each execution. Executing it many times yields a

Wavelength Standards

This manual describes an implementation of optimal Bayesian experimental design methods. These methods address routine measurements where data are fit to

Classifying single-qubit noise using machine learning

Author(s)
Travis L. Scholten, Yi-Kai Liu, Kevin Young, Robin Blume-Kohout
As quantum information processors (QIPs) grow more sophisticated, characterizing their behavior becomes harder. Larger QIPs have more properties that need to be

Practical Cryptanalysis of k-ary C*

Author(s)
Daniel C. Smith-Tone
